I was given the opportunity to be the first to try out Latte Communications Latte Neon M3 MP4 player. First impression is it has the same LG Chocolate style.

Design: Like stated before the Latte Neon M3 MP4 player has a very Chocolate style to it. With Heat Sensor Navigation Keys that glow red. The player is all black with a glossy front and matte black back that is less prone to scratching. The front is dominated by a large 2.4” QVGA TFT display that can display 320x240 resolution. Small and compact this MP4 player is small enough to carry anywhere.

GUI: I was impress with the interface. Its looks a bit like the XMB cross media bar on the PSP but only with up down motions.

Audio: First off this is one of the few MP4 that has an actually built in speaker that is crystal clear. Audio quality through headphones is also excellent and comparable to other flash players on the market.

Video: The screen is amazingly bright and crystal clear. The 2.4” screen makes it perfect for video with smooth playback at 24 Frames per second. Included is a conversion software “AVI Converter Setup V3.0” to convert over to the AVI format.

Pictures: Pictures look great on the 2.4” Screen. JPEG is the supported format.

Game: Included is a very good Tetris clone that provides hours of fun.

FM Radio: FM Radio reception is excellent on this player. But before you search for available stations make sure to plug in the earphone as that is used as the antenna. FM radio can not be used with the speaker do to this. So earphones is required.

Voice Recording: There is a Mic on top of the unit next to the power button for voice recording. You can record in either high or normal quality. You can also set the volume from 1-5 setting.

Text: The player can also be used as a text ebook reader.

Conclusion: The Latte Neon M3 is an excellent flash player that I would recommend to anyone. With expanded flash memory through T-Flash memory card slot, Speaker, Screen quality, and Audio Quality. There’s nothing that this player can’t do. The design is top notch and features are everything you would want in a little player.
